Through Elmer Douglas information, Edgar and Elmer’s parents were John Forester Douglas and Mary Powell. John Forester was born around 1840. 

Yes. This is as far back as I could find as well. I do know Edgar Howard had a twin named Elmer who is buried in McCurtain County, OK. 

Thanks so much,

Thank you for your welcome, William! I'm looking forward to being involved and finding out more about my Douglas ancestors. 

You probably noticed I live in Turramurra, a suburb of Sydney, NSW, Australia. The 3xgreat grandmother I mentioned emigrated here with her husband and family in 1837. Fortunately Australia has good immigration records which helped to trace the family back to her father Robert Douglas.

Best wishes, Barbara

Thank you for adding me and for the welcome. I am in the early stages of my journey connecting my Inglis sept to the Douglas clan. On ancestry I am at a roadblock. I was told by a native Scottish coworker about the Inglis name and history. In later years I was told by native English coworkers history of the Inglis name. Unfortunately I have no living Inglis relatives to help me answer any questions. I live on the East Coast of the US.

It has been ages since you asked for more on my family. I am told the family left Scotland from Thurso. I took my mom to visit two of the family homes. One in the Minneapolis, Minnesota region the other in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We also went to the Douglas crypt in the Oak hill Cemetery, Cedar Rapids. My Great, Great Grand father, amongst other family members, is buried there.

Thanks for reaching out. Been an interesting dive thus far. From William 1610 I am down the family tree: Robert, Thomas, John, Joshua, Turner, William, John, Harvey, Stirling, John, then me. Sincerely, Nick Douglass

Hi William,

James Mitchell Douglas had his full name recorded on his birth record and on his death record, for the rest of his life he called himself James Douglas.
